About FestiveMotion
Why FestiveMotion

From a garage workshop in Omaha to stages worldwide, FestiveMotion builds the animatronics that anchor haunted attractions, escape rooms, and immersive entertainment. Every unit is designed, assembled, and tested by our team.
The Origin
30+
Years in the haunted industry
Jerry Jewell
Founder & Lead Designer
Omaha, NE
What started in a garage became an industry.
Jerry Jewell built his first animatronic prop more than three decades ago, driven by a simple obsession: make people stop in their tracks. What began as a passion project for local haunted houses evolved into a full-scale design and manufacturing operation serving commercial attractions across the country.
Every FestiveMotion product carries that original garage-workshop DNA. We still prototype by hand, test under real show conditions, and refuse to ship anything that doesn't earn a genuine reaction. The tools have changed. The standard hasn't.
“If it doesn't make someone gasp, grab a friend, or pull out their phone, it's not ready to ship.”
SkullTronix Technology
The tech behind the terror.
Our proprietary SkullTronix three-axis drive system combines mechanical precision with smart electronics to produce animatronics that move, speak, and react with uncanny realism.
